many who practice beliefs outside of scripture will shy away from discussing how the blood of Christ saves us and for that matter, they will go out of their way to supply some other event or practice that actuallys aves
in this thread, the op tries to convince people that the blood of Jesus does not actually save us. we read over and over again, that unless you are immersed in water, not even Jesus can save you. you have to save yourself by getting baptized
BUT, scripture explains things very differently
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Acts 20:28
and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Colossians 1:20
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace Ephesians 1:7
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! Hebrews 9:14
In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Hebrews 9:22
There are many many more verses and passages that ascertain the only way to be saved is through the blood of Christ.
without the shedding of blood there is not forgiveness...
BLOOD, not water
